1 – Press and hold the black Multi-Function

Button for 5 seconds, then release.

2 – Stand at least 25 feet away from the drone as transmission power

can saturate the radio receivers at close range, causing temporary loss

of link. From the pop-up dialog screen, select the desired operating

channel from the drop-down channel menu, then select “Pair”.

3 – When prompted, select the desired radio power. The higher

the power setting, the longer the range, but higher power

increases the chance of receiver saturation at close range.
